−	~~'''1. Vigintivir and quaestor:''' From age 21, without previously holding another magistracy,~~ the ~~only magistracies that a newby to~~ the cursus honorum ~~can fill are~~ the ~~vigintivirate~~ and the ~~quaestorship~~.	+	The system of the cursus honorum of Nova Roma is deeply inspired by the ancient Roman cursus honorum, but it is less strict and allows for more room and alternative paths. This larger degree of flexibility was considered necessary due to the modern circumstances of Nova Roma: the smaller size of our community and smaller pool of candidates. Without this flexibility, it would be difficult to find the required number of candidates for an annually changing leadership, and elections in Nova Roma would be hindered.

−	~~'''2.

−	'''3. ~~Praetor~~:''' ~~A candidate of 30 years of~~ age ~~who has served in two magistracies~~, ~~once as quaestor plus~~ another ~~term as aedilis~~, ~~tribunus plebis or vigintisexvir, can advance~~ to ~~the next grade of~~ the cursus honorum, the ~~praetorship~~.	+	'''1. Quaestor and vigintivir:''' From age '''21''', without previously holding another magistracy, the only magistracies that a newby to the cursus honorum can fill are the vigintivirate and the quaestorship.

−	'''4. ~~Consul~~:''' From ~~40 years of~~ age, ~~one can only fill~~ the ~~next grade~~, ~~the consulship if~~ one ~~has served as praetor, or both~~ aedilis ~~and quaestor~~, or ~~both~~ tribunus plebis ~~and quaestor previously~~.	+	'''2. Aedilis or tribunus plebis:''' From age '''25''', after filling either the office of '''vigintivir or quaestor''', one can move on to the higher offices of aedilis curulis, aedilis plebis or tribunus plebis.

−	'''5. Censor:''' The highest grade, the censorship, can only be held by former consuls over 40 years of age.	+	'''3. Praetor:''' A candidate of '''30''' years of age who has served as '''quaestor''' '''plus''' another term in one of the magistracies of '''aedilis, tribunus plebis or vigintivir''', can advance to the next grade of the cursus honorum, the praetorship.
